Nate and I haven't had a lot of quality time lately since he has been studying and working for the Oct. 15th deadline. { I had no idea there was such a thing until this year} Last Sunday he decided to plan a surprise day for me! We went out to a local small breakfast place in Ballard. Then, I thought we were going to go shopping for vehicles but we ended up at the zoo!!
I have been asking Nate to take me there forever! {His work has passes :) } I was so excited! I was like a little kid again! I love watching the chimps and gorillas. I could sit and watch them all day long!
We got to the zoo right when it opened. Good to avoid the crowds, but bad because some animals were still sleeping.
Feeding time for the hippos
The next photos are a series from the lion's den!!
The male came out of the den and scared the female away while she was eating.
Then he smelled us!
My heart was beating so fast! His breath fogged the window. Scary, but so cute!
Old wrinkly butt
Showing us his food
Why would we want a photo of a grizzly?
Poor Grizzles :D
The rest are photos of our favorite animals to watch.
The baby gorilla was putting a show on the entire time!
The old man. Only showed us his back side
the baby put a sack on his head and was swinging around

Then our journey came to an end at the zoo. Nate had to drag me away from the gorillas, but I was VERY thankful he surprised me with a trip to the zoo! Husbands are great! :D
What a fun zoo! Our poor little zoo in Billings is kind of a let down :( It was so funny, when I took Shelby she said "isn't there a monkey, or giraffe or elephant or SOMETHING?" LOL What a fun day for you!!!
